Hardware prototyping: by YOU

Each design & development process starts with having lots of ideas that need to be brought to life. For physical prototypes this can be done by sketching (as you can see above), by lo-fi prototyping using hands-on material (e.q. cardboard, paperclips, elastic) or quick prototyping by means of moulding, turning, extrusion or 3D printing. In VR prototyping there is also a necessity for prototyping by means of software engineering and programming. Here are some great ways to get started for prototyping your own VR-controllers.
